The plots, planted on hillsides with clay-limestone and marl soils, benefit from the oceanic influence of the Bay of Biscay, which brings freshness and humidity. This mosaic of microclimates and exposures promotes the slow ripening of the Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Zerratia grapes, preserving the vibrant acidity and precise aromatic expression typical of the Bizkaiko Txakolina appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Zerratia grapes are harvested separately at optimal ripeness, then destemmed and gently pressed. After cold static settling, the must ferments slowly in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the varietal aromatic expression. The wine is then aged on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks, with periodic pump-overs or lees stirring, until bottling, to retain the freshness, tension, and purity of fruit characteristic of the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003efresh citrus\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003egreen apple\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003ecrisp pear\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by touches of \u003cstrong\u003ewhite flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e and a subtly \u003cstrong\u003eherbaceous\u003c\/strong\u003e dimension. A \u003cstrong\u003esaline minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e is also perceptible, reminiscent of the maritime influence and adding tension. On the palate, the wine is precise and elegant, supported by a lively yet balanced acidity, with a slightly glycerine texture and a persistent, refreshing, and clean finish marked by a return of citrus and salinity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valade \u0026 Transandine","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":56582508872028,"sku":null,"price":20.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Box of 6 bottles (75cl)","offer_id":56582508904796,"sku":null,"price":123.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/0032\/0643\/files\/Gorka-Izagirre-2023-226x750.jpg?v=1769589689","url":"https:\/\/www.lebaroudeurduvin.com\/en-es\/products\/gorka-izagirre-hondarrabi-zuri-zerratia-spain","provider":"Le Baroudeur du Vin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
